📊 Simulation Data
Fluid Density:
1000 kg/m³
Block Density:
800 kg/m³
Density Ratio (ρ_block/ρ_fluid):
0.80
Weight (W):
39.2 N
Buoyant Force (Fb):
49.0 N
Net Force:
9.8 N ↑
Object State:
Floating
Weight: W = V_block × ρ_block × g
Buoyant Force: Fb = V_submerged × ρ_fluid × g
💡 Physics Principles:
• ↑ Block Density → ↑ Weight → ↑ Submerged fraction → Block sinks deeper
• ↑ Fluid Density → ↑ Buoyant Force → ↓ Submerged fraction → Block rises higher
• ↑ Block Volume → Both W and Fb increase equally → Same submerged fraction
• At Equilibrium: Submerged fraction = ρ_block / ρ_fluid
• Result: ρ_block < ρ_fluid → Floats | ρ_block ≥ ρ_fluid → Sinks
